The Spanish manager and former international, best known for guiding Barcelona to a historic treble in 2014-15, was approached by Spurs shortly after leaving his post as Spain's national team boss.
"There were some options in the last six months before I came to Paris and Tottenham was one of them," Enrique revealed this week.
Instead, Enrique opted to succeed Christophe Galtier at Paris Saint-Germain two summers ago.
His impact in Paris has been immediate and emphatic. In his debut 2023-24 season, PSG swept all three domestic trophies, claiming a domestic treble.
The following campaign, Enrique made history again, leading the club to France's first-ever continental treble - capped by their maiden UEFA Champions League triumph in May 2025.
That victory has set up Wednesday's Super Cup showdown against Tottenham, who lifted the UEFA Europa League last season.
The match, to be staged in Italy on 13 August 2025, will see Enrique face the very club he once declined to join.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has fuelled speculation about his future after saying he feels 'disheartened' after being dropped from the Paris Saint-Germain squad ahead of the UEFA Super Cup clash against Tottenham.
Yves Bissouma has been left out of the Tottenham squad to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night.
Tottenham Hotspur have ignited the transfer market with a daring move to outmaneuver rivals Arsenal in the race for Crystal Palace's star midfielder Eberechi Eze, while also pursuing Manchester City's winger Savinho.
Paris Saint-Germain have secured the signing of defender Illia Zabarnyi from Bournemouth, adding one of the Premier League's most reliable defenders to their ranks.
